This year’s traditional St-Jean Family Day will be held on Elgin Street, featuring the children’s performer Ariane DesLions and her “musical hardware,” as well as many more activities and community kiosks.
Ariane’s tool chest contains all kinds of fun for children! Her “musical hardware” includes guitar, vocals, ukulele, bells, cajon, body percussion, piano, accordion and they all inspire children to sing 5out who they are and make the world a better place.
Experience the vocal traditions of Northern Ontario and the wide world beyond in a spirit of inclusiveness. Bring your singing voice and your rhythm spoons and you’re sure to have fun. Festival-goers are invited to contact the CFOF to enter the contest.
